Guardians of the Galaxy 2 casts Pom Klementieff in mystery role

‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2′ Finds Newcomer for Mystery Role (Exclusive).

The “Interstellar” star turned down an offer to play the villain in Marvel‘s “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2,” the sequel to the 2014 blockbuster, sources close to the production told Variety. The casting call, posted by Tammy Smith Casting calls for ‘tough, rough biker, quirky type’ men to form the Ravagers (an alien gang) and ‘beautiful/model aliens – men and women’.

The film, which will be a follow-up to 2014’s blockbuster hit , which grossed more than $774 million worldwide, will see the return of writer/director James Gunn. McConaughey, flesh off the success of his Oscar-winning turn in “Dallas Buyers Club” and acclaimed stint on “True Detective,” is in high demand in Hollywood and is one of the few high-profile actors not conscripted for a super hero film.

Some felt this implied that male extras are allowed to be either quirky or good-looking, while women could only be hot if they wanted to make it into the sequel. He recently wrapped the historical drama, “The Free State of Jones.” Gunn has already turned in the script for “Vol. 2,” which is set for a May 5, 2017 release. The Mary Sue said: ‘If this is what women have to put up with to break into Hollywood, then it makes sense why we’re lacking in representation of body types and looks on the big screen. ‘The problem starts here at the source, at the entry-level work that’s being offered to women. James Gunn returns to write and direct the superhero sequel, which features most of the original cast, including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel.

This shift means that Black Panther will move from a July 6, 2018 to a Feb. 16, 2018 release and will now be released on March 8, 2019 rather than Nov. 2, 2018. Clearly this schedule needs to be revised, because we doubt many people would choose seeing Paul Rudd as Ant-Man in 2018 over the introduction of Captain Marvel in 2018, even though Ant-Man was a success for Marvel.
